winter perk

'Night Vision' 12x12", mixed media;  Kathleen Faulkner

On these cold, clear nights

one doesn't have to travel far

to get a glimpse 

of our vast

Universe

Near here

'Sanctuary' 16x40" oil on canvas;  Kathleen Faulkner

 I was born and raised in the city.

noise, people, traffic...

Now I live where I can walk to quiet,

or listen to the geese

where it is empty of crowds 

and roadless.
